In this heartfelt and fun conversation, I sit down with Laila, host of the Learning to Mom Podcast, to talk about her unexpected journey into motherhood — from an unplanned pregnancy and prenatal depression to finding true joy and freedom as a mom.

Laila opens up about how cultural lies once convinced her that motherhood would ruin her life and how God completely transformed her story. We talk about:

• The cultural lies that distort our view of motherhood
• Prenatal depression and why it’s more common (and misunderstood) than you might realize
• How God used Laila's hardest season to reveal His mercy
• The powerful moment that shifted her from perspective on motherhood from fear to joy
• How to respond when society (and even other moms) speak negatively about motherhood
• The importance of community, discernment, and choosing joy daily
• Practical ways to enjoy motherhood more including boundaries, mindset shifts, and letting go of guilt

This conversation will encourage any mom who’s ever felt unprepared for motherhood, struggled with shame or depression, or simply needed a reminder that motherhood is sacred, sanctifying, and truly good.
